Offside!
by Sandra Diersch
Alecias soccer team has been through a lot this season, but now theyre a tight team and a force on the field. Then a tough new player, Lexi, joins mid-season -- and her bad attitude seems to be contagious.
Alecia's Vancouver soccer team, the Burrards, are a good, hard-fighting squad--her teammates are her friends and her coach is her loving step-dad.
When Lexi, a new kid, joins the team, her bad attitude makes things fall apart fast. Alecia decides to find out what makes Lexi so difficult, and to hold the team together, on the field and off.
Offside! shows how embracing unexpected change can make teams, and players, stronger.
